Re: umm..
How long have you had this snake? Is the snake due to shed?

Re: umm..
The reason I asked about shedding, is that sometimes a couple scales will cause a whistling similiar to a wheeze.
If your snake is wheezing more than a couple times I would suggest going to a qualified herp vet to let him listen to the lungs to be sure.

Respiratory Infection.
If the wheezing worsens or it seems like a lot or mucous and/or bubbles form around the mouth get the snake to the herp vet ASAP.

Re: umm..
Does it only do it when it sees you? Like if you open the enclosure?

Re: umm..
i was just reading other articles and one said that she might be hissing at me when i handle her. shes never snapped or anything and i usually handle her for about 15mins to 30 mins a day. very docile snake and i cant tell if shes weezing or hissing.
